The SideDoor Jazz Club - Jonathan Michel BAM Quartet

Nov 01, 2013 06:30 PM - 11:00 PM

The BAM Quartet is Jonathan's newest musical venture. Looking to explore and pay homage to the great tradition of Black American Music, this group is comprised of some of today's singular voices together making a joyful noise - Justin Faulkner Drums, Marcus Strickland Sax, Orrin Evans Piano…

Born and raised in Waterbury, CT Jonathan was first introduced to music by his father at the age of 4. By age 9 he’d moved from guitar, to piano, to trombone before finally settling on the bass.

Jon moved to Philadelphia in 2005. Learning from such masters as Sam Dockery, Mickey Roker. Nina Bundy. Sid Simmons and more, he became a regular at the venues in town. Since moving to NYC in 2010, Jonathan is earning a reputation as one of the 'faces to know' on the Scene.
In addition to co-leading an original music project The L.X.G. (www.thelxg.com), Jonathan is also building a portfolio as a composer and producer. With ongoing projects in film, RSLB, and gospel he is looking to make an enduring mark on the industry.

Jon has played at the Side Door with other bands before now and we consider him a friend and part of the growing and extremely talented SideDoor family of artists! We are thrilled to have him back with this incredible line up.
